3rd Grade Aboriginal Art

Aboriginal art originated in
Australia over 30,000 years ago. Many of the aborigines
traveled long distances and recorded their travels by using symbols. The symbols they created using only lines and
dots in a repeated pattern. Aboriginal art has many of the earth tone colors
because they used to make their paint from materials in nature. UNITY and REPETITION are seen throughout the
aboriginal art we looked at because of the repeated dots used to create
symbols. The students were able to
create their own piece of aboriginal art using dots and aboriginal symbols and earth
tone colors!
